Long time caravaners, converted to Motorhome 5years ago when the girls went to university, we bought an old Dethleffs A class as an experiment and have found it suits us just fine.
Instead of upgrading to a newer van with less space we have improved our van with a bigger 2.8 engine, the old 1.9 was rubbish.
Been to most places in UK and much of France.
I have certain ammount of Tyre knowledge having worked for Pirelli and Goodyear (current) in the truck market for nearly 25 years.
